But yeah, I know what you mean.
some people you meet at shows you just say hi, shake their hand smile but in the back of your head you really hate them.

The japanese call it "not disturbing the
wa of the workplace". Basically, everyone understands tacitly that if you and someone else have problems, confronting that person could lead to a breakdown of the entire spirit (
wa) of the group.
Dealing with people on a professional basis you don't really like requires you to sort of 'wear a mask', where the things other people do or say have no real effect and emotions take second place to pragmatic realities of business... like getting along in an office with a person you actually detest.
So yeah, not only is it common, it's damn near universal.
